Easier way to coat cakepops?

Is there an easier way to coat cakepops without emtying a whole bag of candy melts into a bowl..

I have to make 24 cakepops that are different colors but I have found in the past I end up throwing out the leftover candy melts as it is a pain in the butt to wait for them to solidify in a bowl and then TRY and scrape it out to save...

Scrape it out while still liquid onto a bit of wax paper or silicone mat and throw it in the freezer for about 30min. Then pop it off the wax paper, put it in a baggie and store it until next time. You can let it come to room temp before putting in a baggie if you prefer, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

lay out a large piece of parchment paper in an area away from moisture, spread melted candy over parchment paper in thin layer, allow to dry, crumble up now hardened candy into small pieces, store in an airtight container away from heat/moisture/sunlight. re-melt candy using paramount crystals to fix fluidity issues.

AOk, I'm Sorry, New To This whole thing. I am baking my cakes, putting frosting, mixing together and forming balls, i then put them in the freezer, for about 15 min. i take them back out dip the ends of sticks in chocolate and stick them in the balls. I then put them back in the freezer for about another 10 min, while i melt chocolate. I use the wilton melts. like wafers of chocolate. When choc is ready i take balls out of freezer and dip. The choc is really thick

AI always put my leftover melts in a ziplock baggie while they're still melted and then seal it [B]almost[/B] all the way and then flatten it/push all the air out and then seal it all the way. They harden super quickly cause it's so thin an then they're already in an airtight bag for storage.

I also use Wilton's melts and I find that I always need a spoon or so of shortening added.

not to be too OT. I let my extra candy coating harden on foil or butcher paper. spread in thin sheets. Break them up and pop back into the original bag. I cut the bags open as close to the original top seal, then re-seal the bag with my seal-a-meal.

AAgree with the above, my job's big on Semper use, not entirely sure what the grocery store equivalent would be, but it's thinner also. Cake pops are pretty much the devil and a waste of everyone's time unless you're charging like $10 each lol. I hate them so much.

Wilton candy melts are way too thick. And when you add veg oil or crisco, they take forever to get hard. I like A.C.Moore's brand, Make'n'Mold. I also like Merckens, but I've only tried the brown chocolate wafers, none of the colored ones. Cake pops are such a pain!

I use the melts from Hobby Lobby and thin them with a bit of paramount crystals if necessary. I have the melting pot from Wilton. I like it because I don't have to babysit it if I'm doing a bunch of other stuff in the kitchen. I just put it on the melt setting and stir every now and then. It keeps it at the perfect temperature and doesn't scorch the candy.
